Hi Peter, The numbers refer to the style of the item, and sometimes to the item # in production, that is why sometimes they also have letters, and multiple numbers in 1 label. Without a catalogue to refer back to it is hard to say. Javier

The first is a uranium green vase 8Â½" (21.5cm) tall. Strictly speaking I don't think this is Murano, but 'Venetian'. The label (badly ripped) merely states 'Venetian Art [Glass?]' and is situated on the neck. It also has one of the small circular 'Made in Italy' labels on the base. The central portion of this label has a tiny logo that looks like a 'G' with an 'H' in the centre, so either 'G.H' or 'H.G' is the maker?

Hi David,Thanks for the posting. I think the label on the Green Vase is the same as the one CathyG posted (from the Orange and Yellow Sommerso Decanter) on the 1st page, at least looks very similar, so your piece might be Cenedese too... and I have to say that is the cutest OWL I have ever seen,

Thanks for the info - I didn't have time to scrutinise the earlier postings so am pleased to learn it's a "known" maker. I actually only paid about Â£5 for it (~ $10) although it does have a small chip on the rim. Good news is I managed to find another on eBay.

David, I have a peacock vase made by the Swedish glass company Elme, which has a label with G.H as described by you. I have always believed this to be the U.K. Importer's label, i.e. George Hardy. (check out my label to see if its the same as yours). I have had other pieces in the past with the same GH logo on, and these have included pieces by Aseda Glasbruk. I have also seen the same label on Raymor glass too.

I've just got back from Falmouth, and really missed the GMB, so if I'm proved wrong about George Hardy, then blame it on too much sand, sea and ... :lol: Regards Anne E.B.http://tinypic.com/9qzius.jpg

Hi Anne,

Thanks, this is starting to get clearer. The label is identical apart from the wording. Javier reckoned it was a Cenedese vase, so I assume Hardy imported a variety of glass and just used appropriate labels!
